This was suppose to be a retro shooter, but soon changed into this.

iRhymeWithRawr is so awesome he helped with the overall look of this game.

PRESS Q TO TURN GRID OFF/ON

Don't like the grid effect? You can turn it off, so don't complain.

Ok, sure, this is not the best shooter ever, but its pretty cool I guess.

...What do you think?

couple quick reactions:

cool game! had fun playing but, a couple minor gripes:

1- feels like I would like to increase the cursor sensitivity- not sure what it is but I kept finding my cursor wasnt quite where I thought it should have been when moving it. Is it software controlled?

2- maybe this is intentional, but not sure if it's a good idea- having a white cross shaped mouse cursor on a white grid, with other white stuff going on.. I lost my cursor very frequently. imo you really want the player's aiming device to stand out not blend in, especially if you have to use it out the corner of your eye (keep track of the ship and cursor)

3- ship health- given that this is mayhem, i never have much of a chance to look at the little grey bar in the bottom right. could this be built into the ship or cursor?

PS, i wonder if the sprites would look better with filtering turned off? they look a bit blurry- either that or slightly higher rez textures

good stuff tho

PPS, RMB is listed as a control- couldn't figure out what it does though? is it just in the menus

[KrisGames]

Thanks for the feedback! I think of what your talking about for the mouse, could be the FPS, maybe if I increase that it will respond faster. About the health, I Don't think ill move it, I think ill just make it bigger/Different color.
Cursor mouse color ~ I guess I can change that to!

Thanks for the big comment! :D

EDIT: RMB is right mouse button, Its for submiting your score after dying

Fun game, well developed, compliments!
But I feel weird with controls: I use WASD to drive the ship like asteroids, it's very difficult to understand that W moves the ship up and not forward.

[KrisGames]

Thanks! I guess I could add a control scheme, Like asteroids one or normal.

The music is annoying, and it's way too loud for this game. This struck me particularly when I first started the game.

The gameplay seems overly simplistic to me. It's just avoiding bullets, shooting enemies, and then making more enemies pop up. Sure, that's what you do in a lot of shooters, but the enemy patterns are more interesting and varied. Also, the grid effect is a bit too fast and is very Geometry-Wars-ripoff-y.

I think you should make more unique enemy patterns, slow everything down a bit (including the background), and change the music.
